Medium
Painting - Oil On Hardboard
Description
The original has sold but prints are available. The original of this painting was exhibited by invitation in the New York State Museum's South Hall Gallery in Albany, New York. This painting was made with dozens of thin, transparent layers of oil color over a carefully rendered master drawing.
The setting is an actual place, a ledge that I used to rest on while climbing the 350 feet cliffs on the south face of Owl's Head Mountain in Groton State Forest, Vermont. While there I found the nest, some broken eggs and evidence of a raccoon. It had been very windy th evening before and the nest may have blown out of the birch tree. Piecing together the puzzle led to this painting.
